Should a prospective engineering major not apply to ANY schools without engineering?

36 ACT 800 Math II 800 Chemistry 3.96 UW with 12 APs by end of junior, 18 by end of senior.





I think IF I really do get rejected from every reach and from all 3 UCs, I would rather go to a community college than UC Riverside



I certainly hope the community college route was not serious. The community college route is a very viable route for a lot of people but, with the stats you have posted, there are 4 year universities out there that are going to be very affordable for you and provide a much more intellectually stimulating environment than a CC.

For your safeties, forget about the prestige and focus on finding schools with strong engineering programs that also have a variety of other programs if you decide not to do engineering.
